800 is probably more than enough, Daniel. I would imagine that the davit would be set up while the messenger, etc. were being set up. We have to remember that the gun crews, for example, didn't work anything but the guns or do maintenance (like holystoning) so they would have been the labor for the capstan, stowing, etc. I'm guessing that some things overlapped such as fishing and securing the anchor but every man had his duty.

Man, we got to get you moved over to Chrome here on MSW. Try what Richard suggested. I had to move over to Chrome (or Firefox) as IE11 was giving me fits not just here but other places also.

I'm going to suggest zu Mondfeld's Historic Ship Models. There's a lot of good basic information in it including rigging. And it's usually very reasonably priced online.

Dave, It sounds like what you need is one of those little tabletop/countertop convection type ovens. When you're not drying the carvings, you can make yourself pizza.

Mark, Isn't Woodstock Gun Oil the same as boiled linseed oil? I know we used to use linseed oil back the old days in the Marines for our wooden stocks. The description sounds like it.

The ship is a work of art and I swear I'm looking at a hospital operating room. It's that clean. Beautiful work Gaetan.

I like the see them as they're built logs. We learn not only from success but from the re-dos. She's looking really sweet.
-
Wonderful metalwork, Gerhard. Your log is almost a tutorial on how to make these parts.
-
The joy of MSW, Fam. We learn from each other. I'm appreciative of your comment.
-
Great carving work, Fam. I'm seeing this as instruction and inspiration for my ship.

I'm hoping that everyone at your place is getting better. I guess the flu is still running rampant around your area?

I think Thurston sells some slitting blades that might be thin enough.
